Priest slaps crying baby during baptism

Saturday, 23 June, 2018

SHOCKING footage has emerged showing a priest's violent attempt to calm down a crying baby by slapping it during a baptism in France. He then attempts to console the child by grabbing the boy's face and urging him to "calm down, calm down".

The child's relatives still appear to be smiling as the priest brings the baby's head towards his, but the baby reacts badly and flails its right arm towards the woman. The baby is crying loudly and the priest appears to be trying to get the baby to stop crying.

The exact date of the incident are unclear, although the video surfaced on the internet on Wednesday.

In a 40-second clip that has gone viral, the French-speaking clergyman lashes out in frustration during the ceremony as the tiny child is held by a woman thought to be his mother.
